Holistic Coaching

with Alison Rothman MA, CYT, Emotional Doula

Come Home to Yourself

It starts with presence.

Body-Centered Holistic Coaching is a deeply attuned, relational process that supports you in reconnecting with your inner steadiness, truth, and emotional resilience. This work unfolds slowly and organically — at the pace your nervous system can genuinely hold.

Together, we gently explore what’s arising in your inner world — the patterns, stories, tensions, and protective layers — with compassion and curiosity. This is not about forcing change or fixing yourself. It is about being met in a way that allows healing to occur naturally.

I draw from a wide range of somatic, emotional, and intuitive modalities, and I meet you where you are — moment by moment — so your growth is grounded, sustainable, and real.

Transform your life by connecting deeply with your truest self and cultivating a new way of being.

Through this work, you will:

Learn to respond, not react to life’s challenges.
Interrupt old patterns and reclaim your personal power and freedom.
Create more ease and peace in your life through deep self-awareness.
Gain unwavering confidence that empowers you.
Release addictions and break free from addictive patterns.
Attract deep, meaningful relationships that align with your authentic self.
Open up to new possibilities in how you live, love, and relate.
Learn to be still and cultivate comfort in quiet moments.
Access a deep sense of inner calm that translates into your day-to-day life.
Stay embodied and connected to yourself, no matter the external chaos.

What is Body-Centered Holistic Coaching?

Body-Centered Holistic Coaching is a deeply attuned, relational process of healing and transformation.
This work invites you back into connection with your inner world — your sensations, emotions, intuition, patterns, and truth — so you can move through life from a place of grounded presence rather than reactivity, fear, or old survival strategies.

In our sessions, we slow down and listen to what is happening inside you in real time.
We work gently and consistently with:

Somatic awareness and inner tracking
Nervous system regulation and resourcing
Trauma-informed emotional processing
Reflective dialogue and guided inquiry
Spiritual and intuitive insight

I draw from many modalities, but I never use a one-size-fits-all approach.
I meet you exactly where you are — moment by moment — so that your healing unfolds in a way that is natural, grounded, and sustainable.

This work is not about fixing or pushing your way to a new version of yourself.
It is about remembering who you are and learning to live from that place — clear, rooted, and deeply connected to yourself.

In our work together, you’ll learn how to listen to your body with compassion, curiosity, and love. It’s a process of peeling back layers of stress, fear, and tension, allowing you to reclaim your personal power and live in greater alignment with your true self.

Who is this work for?

This work is for women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves — emotionally, physically, and energetically — and are longing to live in a way that feels honest, grounded, and true.

You may be here because:

You’ve been navigating a major life transition or identity shift
You’re exhausted from holding everything together on your own
Old patterns of coping, numbing, or over-functioning are no longer working
You feel disconnected from your inner voice or the wisdom of your body
You crave deeper, more authentic presence in your relationships
You sense there is more to you — and you’re ready to meet her

This work is not about “fixing” you.
It’s about returning to yourself — the part of you that knows, feels, chooses, and leads from within.

You do not need to have it all together.
You do not need to know exactly what you’re seeking.

You only need to be willing to show up — with your truth, your tenderness, your longing, your uncertainty — and let yourself be met.

If you’re ready for grounded support, honest reflection, and a deeply present space to unfold and rise in your own time — this is for you.

My approach:

Our work together is relational, attuned, and centered in the present moment. I meet you exactly where you are — whether you are tender and unraveling, strong and clear, or somewhere in between. Some sessions are spacious, gentle, and deeply nourishing. Others are direct, clarifying, and create real movement and change.

There is no forcing, fixing, or rushing here.

We listen to what is true in your body, your emotional landscape, your patterns, and your boundaries — and we work from that place. The process is steady, compassionate, and rooted in your lived experience.

Healing becomes possible when you no longer have to do it alone — when you are met.

Session Praise

“I highly recommend Alison’s services to anyone looking for a gentle yet powerful way to transform their life.What Alison has created with Embody Life has truly transformed lives from the inside out. In the age of so many coaches, self help books and programs, Alison is the REAL DEAL. She is incredibly gifted and will put you on the fast track to healing. Upon meeting and working with Alison, it is clear that she holds immense wisdom, a truly kind and gentle spirit and a passion for transforming lives for the better. Her coaching has provided results that show up in immense ways in everyday life from relationships to career to transcending insecurities and past traumas. I would especially recommend Alison’s retreats and events which she puts so much heart and soul into - these events are so transformative and exactly the kind of escape that everyone should take for themselves regularly.”
- G.R.
“Alison has a demeanor that exudes compassion and empathy. I felt this in my core within the first minutes of our interaction. She has the deep experiential knowledge to guide in a way that is loving and supportive yet firm. She gave me the tools needed for my own growth and healing and gave me the guidance to set my feet firmly on my own path. I highly recommend Alison to anyone needing a new perspective for growth.”
- A.L.
“I met Alison at a time when I needed someone in my corner. She helped guide me back to myself through her loving support which is her ability to help you see yourself more clearly. Those weeks of working with her not only helped me gain my confidence back but she validated my emotions which helped me find more compassion for my life’s journey. I’m forever grateful for her heart’s generosity as sometimes we all need someone who will help expose the light within.”
- P.S.
“At the beginning of our work together, I was experiencing a lot of uncertainty in my life and at first I thought of it as being external. Through Alison’s guidance I began to see that everything starts within. That even though you cannot control the actions of another, you can certainly control your own actions and reactions. The accountability was invaluable and most importantly, Alison saw a light in me. It took several sessions for me to start seeing that same light within myself. She challenged me to dig deeper, rich further into the most authentic part of who I am. Today I can truly say that I am alive. And I am and will forever be grateful for the guidance, resources, accountability and belief that Alison has contributed into my life.”

- P.K.
“I was first introduced to Alison via her blog. Every time I would read her words I would be in awe at how her writing was just what I needed to hear in the moment. It was as if she was sitting across from me, knowing what I needed. Eventually, I did book my first appointment and gave myself the gift of one-on-one time with her!
Alison is extremely tender-hearted, a gifted listener, and offers gentle and direct questions that open up new layers of self-understanding and personal patterns. I admire how she weaves in her own life stories, while expertly guiding me towards my own authenticity and honesty. We laugh, cry and after every session I leave a little lighter and with greater clarity. Thank you, Alison for sharing your gifts and being such a light!”
- A.D.
“Alison is an incredibly gifted and intuitive healer, she offers creative and aligned guidance. She has been a pool of knowledge in all things health and wellness in my life, helping me find a tangible connection with my body. I have been literally transformed over this past year while working with Alison and being a part of The Acceptance Circle.
I have been able to overcome paralyzing anxiety and depression, and move through trauma that was unconsciously controlling my life. It’s been a slow and diligent process but I have become more present in my body and able to face my truth, my shadows. The truth of unhealthy patterns, addictions, numbing and avoidance behaviors, and how I was constantly living in survival mode.”
- T.H.
“Alison has not only been a mentor and inspiration to me, but also a coach of life, wellness, self and love. She is able to unpack many life challenges for others in a natural, raw and effortless way. I never have felt that Alison was my coach and instead I have felt like she has been an ally who walks with me through old, new and unfamiliar terrain. Her constant dedication, interest and daily support in my life has allowed me to change behaviors, develop new skills, realize internal struggles and feel empowered to confront life with fierce power and drive. She is not afraid to let others into her life, be vulnerable and express similar struggles, which has allowed me to develop a deep and trusting relationship with her”.
- S.C.
“Working with Alison has helped empower me to stand up for myself. She has helped me to take a look at myself with compassion and love. Alison truly guides you with a positive outlook and unconditional love. She helps to give you the tools to take control of your life and learn to have compassion for yourself and for those in your life. I am so thankful that I have found her!!”
- E.D.
“My work with Alison is meaningful and measurable. I’ve made significant strides in learning how to live an empowered and embodied life. I am excited about the practices I’ve already gained and the future potential of my well-being as I continue to execute them. I highly recommend Alison!!!”
- P.C.
“Alison’s brilliant work flows directly from her commitment to living an embodied, empowered and authentic life. Alison’s compassionate strength encourages turning toward and nurturing oneself as a way to navigate the challenges and complexities in our lives.
Thank you Alison for helping me to understand how to take essential action in service of a grounded and empowered life.”
- S.B., Teacher
“The Universe brought Alison into my life when I really needed support.This past February I was so blessed to reconnect with Alison after working together back when I was a teenager. Having previously attended many women’s groups I knew the Acceptance Circle was exactly what I was seeking. It has really been the catalyst I needed to approach life from a more mindful, present and grounded place. To be honest, I am a new, better version of myself than I was when I began this circle. Working with her has helped to expand limitations within myself, so that I could begin to manifest what I want/need externally. Alison holds a truly sacred space, full of empathy, wisdom, and love. She facilitates a woman’s group that is safe, honest, and has been monumental for my personal growth. I am so grateful for her work, she is inspirational!”
- T.H.
“Alison exudes kindness and compassion. I immediately felt heard and supported! I highly recommend Alison.”
- D.G.
“I have had the opportunity to work with Alison this past year. In the beginning, I was very nervous about being judged and criticized because that is how I grew up. However, I quickly noticed that Alison created a safe and loving environment. I was able to move through my anxiety and fear. This enabled me to gain the confidence I lacked but so desired.
My dream was to travel with other women going through their process. I took a risk and booked my trip to Mexico. It was from there that I became transformed and was able to walk through the fire. Ie: move through my pain and shame.
The environment that Alison created for all of us was healing and most important,...safe. Her timing was impeccable and she has a natural instinct to know how to read the room. She provided a very supportive place and I have learned how to love and have fun. I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt.
I highly recommend Alison for anyone who is stuck in old patterns or just need to improve their relationships with others.”

10 Core Layers of Our Work Together

Our work together focuses on 10 Core Layers, empowering you with the ability to truly choose to carve new pathways into your everyday life and how you operate on the whole. This takes time, practice, consistency, a willingness to be uncomfortable, and an openness to trying something new at every turn of your life. The 10 Core Layers are:

Deepening Self-Awareness

Identifying “Root” Issues

Relationships

Nourishment

Body

Mind

Creating New Pathways

Perspective on our Patterns

Regression as a Reminder

Self-Care as Your Unique Rhythm of Practice

Discover the framework of the 10 Core Layers

Through deepening self-awareness of your true self and inner workings, we’ll begin the process of unraveling habitual patterns and stories and take consistent steps forward along your life path with integrity, clarity, strength, power, and an embodied connection.
Identify root issues that have become embedded in your body and psyche for years or even decades to gain a grasp on what it is that needs focus and attention in our work together.
Utilize your relationship for the highest good beginning with the relationship to yourself that leads to personal growth and the improvement of your relationship with others.
Learn to work with your body through recognizing its connection to your healing and open up the channels of communication throughout your entire system.
Tap into the power of your mind using this powerful tool to heal, grow, and change. Invoke the life-changing practice of meditation combined with the power of neuroplasticity to retrain your thoughts within intention so you can make the shifts necessary to create outer change.
As you deepen on your path, you’ll gain a perspective on your patterns and your ways of moving through life so that you can make choices that enhance your state of being rather than suppress it.
We’ll work together to develop your self-care as your unique rhythm of practice, attuning yourself on a deeper level as to what care means for you, listening to the call, and honoring that which you are being moved towards.
During your journey, we’ll use regression as a reminder. While it is normal to experience some regression, we can remember what actually feels aligned and "good" for us and we can make the choice to pivot at any given moment.
We will focus on nourishment beyond your physical needs, encompassing everyday, small moments in your life from relationships to your conversations to your environment.
At any given moment, you’ll discover than you can choose to create new pathways in your ways of living and being. With this work, as each layer is revealed we become more intimate with what that looks and feels like for us as individuals.

Let’s Begin

If you’re feeling the pull toward this work — even if you don’t have all the words yet — you’re in the right place.

A space for you to share what’s unfolding in your life, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of what it feels like for us to be in the room together. There is no pressure and no expectation — just connection, clarity, and truth.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
You get to be supported.
